casestatus.in Summary
A government employee has no vested right to extension of service beyond the prescribed age of superannuation merely because a sister organisation under the same State has been granted such extension; the State's prerogative to amend service regulations differs across statutory authorities. Where the government has declined to enhance retirement age for a specific authority, an aggrieved employee's remedy lies in challenging that executive decision on its own merits.
